Cardinals cut British Olympian last season for parking in wrong spot

TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona Cardinals coach Bruce Arians has a rule: Don’t park where you’re not supposed to.

Not obeying those orders cost one practice-squad player his job with the Cardinals last season.

Defensive end Lawrence Okoye, a former British Olympian in the discus, was cut by the Cardinals on Oct. 21, 2015 after parking in a spot reserved for people buying tickets at Arizona’s practice facility in Tempe, Arizona. The aftermath of the decision was captured at the beginning of Episode 3 of “All or Nothing”, the eight-part series about the Cardinals’ 2015 season on Amazon Video.
